First Day of School SY 2015-2016

I was looking at this photo earlier at my phone and it makes me sad that my kids have grown up a lot! I am so grateful and blessed that I get to be a stay-at-home-mom. It might not be a cloud nine everyday (you know what I mean right, lol) but it's worth every second I spend my time with them.

Today is there first day of school and as I prepared their breakfast, U wanted to cry because I felt a very strong emotion that I couldn't explain. I thought that as they grow older, it would be easier for me to send them to school but no! It doesn't get any easier at all. The only consolation I have is seeing their smiles and their excitement of going back to school.

They never really cried when I sent them to Kindergarten on the first day but I did! I don't cry now when I get back home but still hard for me to see them go on the first day. Today is half day and they have free dress day. Tomorrow will be the start of a full day at school and wearing uniforms.

Anyway, we went to school early today to avoid the rush of so many students pouring in. We brought all their supplies last Friday when we registered so it was an easy day today. I can't believe my son is now in third frade and my daughter is in middle school. Ahhhh time really flies!

My daughter woke up so early and made this note for her teacher.

As I tyoed this, my heart is heavy but at the same time I am excited for their new adventures in learning. Talking about mixed emotions eh? I don't know, maybe I am just too attached to my kids that I have this separation anxiety everytime they go.

In ten years, we only left these two to a caregiver ince when we attended a Navy Bal few years ago. Ut was really hard for me being away from them and it was just for few hours. I don't think I will be able to take it if we will be sparated for weeks or even days, Ih boym I better stop before tears flood my keyboard. Have a great day everyone!

I understand what you are going through. Every mom and dad have mixed feelings everytime school starts. Just remember that your kids are doing well in school and working towards a better future. Just continue to support them to reach their dreams. Hugs!

Awww I think I was getting teary eyed reading your post. My kiddos don't start until the 31st but my youngest has never been away from me at all and he's starting preschool this year, I'm very sad about it but I know he will love it.

I always cried on the first day of school. Till I started homeschooling, now we have a huge celebration to start our first day with tears of laughter and giggles! Hope your littles have a great school year :D

Oh, they are so cute! Kiddo starts school on the 8th. We have open house tonight to meet her teachers, she can see where her locker is, learn more about the middle school as shes starting there this year. So exciting and a bit of anxiety too!

Cute pictures, my son goes back to school next week. I still plan to be there for his first day of 6th grade. This is also his last year of elementary school and I'm feeling some type of way. Like you I thought it would get easier as he got older.

I felt the same way when I sent my nephew off to school for the first time. Your kids are adorable and they look like the are enjoying every min of it! You guys def started way earlier then we do LOL the pictures are great!
